About the Role
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) supports the UK’s prosperity and global market position by promoting stable business conditions through investigating and prosecuting the most serious and complex fraud, bribery, corruption, and money laundering nationally and internationally. Our mission is to reduce the harm caused by high-level economic crime and to preserve and enhance the reputation of the UK as a safe place to do business. We take on a selected number of large complex cases for investigation and, where appropriate, prosecution or other judicially supervised disposal. We also pursue criminals for recovery of unlawful financial gains. The SFO is unique in that it both investigates and prosecutes offenders and has special legal powers to enable this.

The Intelligence Division is responsible for the receipt, collation, and analysis of information, intelligence, and referrals of criminal activity to the SFO. We build and develop intelligence products to identify cases suitable for investigation by the SFO and proactively engage with the wider law enforcement and intelligence community in sharing intelligence.

Plans are underway to increase the size and scope of the Intelligence Division. The SFO will become more proactive in case identification and more innovative in our use of sources and tactics.

As a Senior Intelligence Officer, you will lead on Intelligence Development Operations, using the SFO’s pre-investigation powers to develop cases of serious or complex fraud, bribery, and corruption which fit the criteria for SFO investigation set by the Director.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team responsible for the early investigation of high-profile instances of serious and complex economic crime, building intelligence packages and identifying evidential opportunities which will underpin formal SFO investigations.

We encourage applicants with experience in public or private sector intelligence and investigations roles.
